Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Monday tore into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., just days after the speaker backed down from her refusal to send the articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Senate, calling Pelosi’s delay a “strange gambit” that “produced absolutely nothing.”

During a speech on the Senate floor, McConnell chastised Pelosi for ending what he called “her one-woman blockade” and questioned her strategy for holding off sending the articles to the Senate.

The House in December voted to impeach Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for matters relating to his controversial July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the subsequent House inquiry.

Pelosi had held up sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate, citing concerns about McConnell’s objectivity and the lack of ability to call witnesses to testify in the trial in hopes of winning concessions from Republicans. But McConnell refused to give in.

Her daughter was on with Martha MacCallum tonight....I thought perhaps there was a chance that her daughter had escaped the insanity of her mother but nope - she spoke every line learned at her mother’s knee - Catholic upbringing and all!! Until that witch is carried away and locked up, this country will be subject to her stupidity - that’s Nancy not the daughter but two for the price of one wouldn’t hurt!! Her daughter has never made a spectacle of herself except with one video she made years ago and has now written a book - Hmmmmm - wonder what she’s looking at for her future?????
